– I am extremely proud of the opportunity to take over the position of President of Bricomarché in Poland and to continue the work of my predecessor. Recent years have been a period of dynamic development for us, during which we have increased our market share. However, as a chain, we are constantly striving for the goal of gaining the third position among DIY stores in the country. This is a huge challenge, but I believe that we will manage to achieve it and I am glad that in my new role I will be able to contribute to its implementation – says Marek Sawa, President of Bricomarché in Poland.
